Just an update to let everyone know that little Gizmo has found his new fur ever home. He will be living in New Jersey with one of our very own YT members. She is waiting until he has his surgery and then we will set up a time for her to come and get her new little fur baby. I am very happy that Gizmo has her as I can see how much she loves her furkids and spoils them. Gizmo is going to be a Prince in NJ. Yeah Gizmo

I'm so glad Gizmo is going to a great home. He's such a cutie! I can't wait to see updated pictures when he's in his forever home.

Same here. All of my babies are/have been rescues, fosters, re-homes, strays, and/or ferals, too. It's all about them...these babies NEEDED stuff, and love, a home, etc....$$$ never entered into it, even as foster parents for the Humane Society. I have been more than repaid in love, cuddles, and kisses, and especially watching them grow from sick, neglected, abused, tired, scared little fur balls into their fabulous, loving, confident selves!

When one baby foster had a respiratory infection, I took him at first cough to my vet...called in late to work to take him first thing, and, since he had something communicable, I called to let them know. They were immediately 'defensive' (understandably due to their non-profit status and reliance on $$$ donations as well as other material and food donations, volunteer workers, etc.) and said they wouldn't pay for his care since it was my vet...not theirs...and they did not pre-authorize payment. Do understand these were great people who really loved and cared about the animals. It took dense naive me a while to realize what they were saying...lol...since all I was doing was requesting they keep an eye on the others and tell the foster parents of his sister so they could watch out for the same condition in her...lol. Took me even longer to get them to realize I wasn't going to stick them with the bill...that all I cared about was he nor any others he had come in contact with, were going to die or even be ill. His and his sister were living in a culvert when found and their mom had been killed by a car...they were both very young...much too young for adoption, spay, neuter, shots, etc...which was why they needed fostering...and to socialize them for adoption...which I couldn't do...give them back, I mean...lol...so I adopted them all myself! It never even occurred to me to check to see if the money paid to adopt any of the HS babies was tax deductible. I only have 1 of that group left today...a 13 yr old feline, having lost the others recently, and he is alive because 2 yrs. ago an ER was able to clear a sudden urinary blockage until my vet could take over his care the next morning. Poor baby! What a horrible night that was! He's even more 'Mommy's Baby' than he was before. Come to think of it, poor checkbook, too...lol My point is, though, that if it isn't about them, it's for the wrong reason.

I think it is so great what you are doing for Gizmo!

If the shelter or rescue has a not for profit tax ID such as 501c3, then their adoption fees are tax deductible. Sometimes this information is on the adoption paperwork or you might have to ask if they have that tax ID. The adoption fees are considered donations just like if you donated something to Goodwill. You can claim them on your taxes like other donations if you have the adoption receipt of how much you paid.


Sparrow was through a rescue here in town. I was charged $100 for her adoption, and it was all tax deductible. Pretty great deal for an adorable 1.5 year old Yorkie complete with shots, spay, and chip.

Wonderful news, Gizmo has a new home here in NJ. Was that a clue?-a Prince in NJ. (Princeton?)
